12 ** Incompatible changes
13 *** No default title is provided when =TITLE= keyword is missing
14 Skipping =TITLE= keyword no longer provides the current file name, or
15 buffer name, as the title. Instead, simply ignore the title.
16 *** Remove ~export-block~ element type
17 For export back-end developers.
19 So called "Export blocks" are now raw "Special blocks". As
20 a consequence ~export-block~ type doesn't exist anymore in parser, and
21 should not have a translator associated in an export back-end.
23 In order to tell the difference between a special block and a former
24 export block, a new predicate, ~org-export-raw-special-block-p~ is
27 To put it simply, two steps may be needed to update a back-end
28 defining export blocks.
30 1. Remove any ~org-BACKEND-export-block~ function, associated filter
31 and remove ~export-block~ entry from back-end definition. This
32 step can be omitted if you want to preserve backward-compatibility
33 with Org 8.2. In this case, the function and filter will be used
34 in Org 8.2 but ignored in Org 8.3.
36 2. If there is a translator for special blocks, e.g.,
37 ~org-BACKEND-special-block~, first check if the current block is an
38 export block using the predicate and, if that is true, simply
39 insert raw value, obtained through block's ~:raw-value~
42 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
43 (defun org-latex-special-block (special-block contents info)
44 (if (org-export-raw-special-block-p special-block info)
45 (org-element-property :raw-value special-block)
46 ;; Usual handling for special blocks goes here.
50 Note that If BACKEND is a derived back-end and doesn't implement
51 its own special block translator already, there is nothing to
52 change. The parent back-end will take care of such blocks.
54 The following functions require an additional argument. See their
55 docstring for more information.
56 - ~org-html-format-headline-function~
57 - ~org-html-format-inlinetask-function~
58 - ~org-latex-format-headline-function~
59 - ~org-latex-format-inlinetask-function~
61 *** Removed function ~org-beamer-insert-options-template~
62 This function inserted a Beamer specific template at point or in
63 current subtree. Use ~org-export-insert-default-template~ instead, as
64 it provides more features and covers all export back-ends. It is also
65 accessible from the export dispatcher.
67 *** ~org-list-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists~ is deprecated
68 It will be kept in code base until next release, for backward
71 If you need to separate consecutive lists with blank lines, always use
72 two of them, as if this option was nil (default value).
73 *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-command=
74 This undocumented option defaulted to the value of =shell-file-name=
75 at the time of loading =ob-shell=. The new behaviour is to use the
76 value of =shell-file-name= directly when the shell langage is =shell=.
77 To chose a different shell, either customize =shell-file-name= or bind
78 this variable locally.
79 *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-var-quote-fmt=
80 This undocumented option was supposed to provide different quoting
81 styles when changing the shell type. Changing the shell type can now
82 be done directly from the source block and the quoting style has to be
83 compatible across all shells, so a customization doesn't make sense
84 anymore. The chosen hard coded quoting style conforms to POSIX.
86 *** Additional markup with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
87 The content of the included file can now be optionally marked up, for
88 instance as HTML. See the documentation for details.
89 *** Additional =:hline= processing to ob-shell
90 If the argument =:hlines yes= is present in a babel call, an optional
91 argument =:hlines-string= can be used to define a string to use as a
92 representation for the lisp symbol ='hline= in the shell program. The
94 *** Drawers do not need anymore to be referenced in =#+DRAWERS=
95 One can use a drawer without listing it in the =#+DRAWERS= keyword,
96 which is now obsolete. As a consequence, this change also deprecates
97 ~org-drawers~ variable.
98 *** Markdown export supports switches in source blocks
99 For example, it is now possible to number lines using the =-n= switch
101 *** New blocks in ASCII export
102 ASCII export now supports =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYRIGHT= and
103 =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYLEFT= blocks. See documentation for details.
104 *** More back-end specific publishing options
105 The number of publishing options specific to each back-end has been
106 increased. See manual for details.
107 *** Export inline source blocks
108 Inline source code was used to be removed upon exporting. They are
109 now handled as standard code blocks, i.e., the source code can appear
110 in the output, depending on the parameters.
112 *** File names in links accept are now compatible with URI syntax
113 Absolute file names can now start with =///= in addition to =/=. E.g.,
114 =[[file:///home/me/unicorn.jpg]]=.
115 *** Footnotes in included files are now local to the file
116 As a consequence, it is possible to include multiple Org files with
117 footnotes in a master document without being concerned about footnote
119 *** Mailto links now use regular URI syntax
120 This change deprecates old Org syntax for mailto links:
121 =mailto:user@domain::Subject=.
122 *** =QUOTE= keywords do not exist anymore
123 =QUOTE= keywords have been deprecated since Org 8.2.
124 *** Select tests to perform with the build system
125 The build system has been enhanced to allow test selection with a
126 regular expression by defining =BTEST_RE= during the test invocation.
127 This is especially useful during bisection to find just when a
128 particular test failure was introduced.
131 ** Incompatible changes
132 *** =ob-sh.el= renamed to =ob-shell=
133 This may require two changes in user config.
135 1. In =org-babel-do-load-languages=, change =(sh . t)= to =(shell . t)=.
136 2. Edit =local.mk= files to change the value of =BTEST_OB_LANGUAGES=
137 to remove "sh" and include "shell".
139 *** Combine org-mac-message.el and org-mac-link-grabber into org-mac-link.el
141 Please remove calls to =(require 'org-mac-message)= and =(require
142 'org-mac-link-grabber)= in your =.emacs= initialization file. All you
143 need now is =(require 'org-mac-link)=.
145 Additionally, replace any calls to =ogml-grab-link= to
146 =org-mac-grab-link=. For example, replace this line:
148 : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'omgl-grab-link)
152 : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'org-mac-grab-link)
154 *** HTML export: Replace =HTML_HTML5_FANCY= by =:html-html5-fancy= (...)
156 Some of the HTML specific export options in Org <8.1 are either nil or
157 t, like =#+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=. We replaced these binary options with
158 option keywords like :html-include-style.
160 So you need to replace
162 : #+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE: t
166 : #+OPTIONS: :html-include-style t
168 Options affected by this change: =HTML5_FANCY=, =HTML_INCLUDE_SCRIPTS=
169 and =HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=.
171 *** Add an argument to ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-buffer~
173 ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-file~ can run in a different
174 process when provided a non-nil =ASYNC= optional argument, without
175 relying on ~org-export-async-start~ macro.
177 Since =ASYNC= is the first of optional arguments, you have to shift
178 the other optional arguments accordingly.
180 *** Export back-ends are now structures
182 Export back-ends are now structures, and stored as such in the
183 communication channel during an export process. In other words, from
184 now on, ~(plist-get info :back-end)~ will return a structure instead
187 Arguments in hooks and in filters are still symbols, though.
189 ** Important bugfixes
191 *** [[doc:org-insert-heading][org-insert-heading]] has been rewritten and bugs are now fixed
192 *** The replacement of disputed keys is now turned of when reading a date
194 *** Match string for sparse trees can now contain a slash in a property value
196 You can now have searches like SOMEPROP="aaa/bbb". Until now,
197 this would break because the slash would be interpreted as the
198 separator starting a TOTO match string.
201 *** =C-c ^ x= will now sort checklist items by their checked status
203 See [[doc:org-sort-list][org-sort-list]]: hitting =C-c ^ x= will put checked items at the end
205 *** Various LaTeX export enhancements
208 - Support for .pgf files
209 - LaTeX Babel blocks can now be exported as =.tikz= files
210 - Allow =latexmk= as an option for [[doc:org-latex-pdf-process][org-latex-pdf-process]]
211 - When using =\usepackage[AUTO]{babel}=, AUTO will automatically be
212 replaced with a value compatible with ~org-export-default-language~
213 or ~LANGUAGE~ keyword.
214 - The dependency on the =latexsym= LaTeX package has been removed, we
215 now use =amssymb= symbols by default instead.
217 *** New functions for paragraph motion
219 The commands =C-down= and =C-up= now invoke special commands
220 that use knowledge from the org-elements parser to move the cursor
221 in a paragraph-like way.
223 *** New entities in =org-entities.el=
225 Add support for ell, imath, jmath, varphi, varpi, aleph, gimel, beth,
226 dalet, cdots, S (ยง), dag, ddag, colon, therefore, because, triangleq,
227 leq, geq, lessgtr, lesseqgtr, ll, lll, gg, ggg, prec, preceq,
228 preccurlyeq, succ, succeq, succurlyeq, setminus, nexist(s), mho,
229 check, frown, diamond. Changes loz, vert, checkmark, smile and tilde.
231 *** Anonymous export back-ends
233 ~org-export-create-backend~ can create anonymous export back-ends,
234 which can then be passed to export functions like
235 ~org-export-to-file~, ~org-export-to-buffer~ or ~org-export-as~.
237 It allows for quick translation of Org syntax without the overhead of
238 registering a new back-end.
240 *** New agenda fortnight view
242 The agenda has not, in addition to day, week, month, and year
243 views, also a fortnight view covering 14 days.
246 *** New option [[doc:org-bookmark-names-plist][org-bookmark-names-plist]]
248 This allows to specify the names of automatic bookmarks.
249 *** New option [[doc:org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties][org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties]]
251 This allows more flexibility when optimizing the agenda generation.
252 See http://orgmode.org/worg/agenda-optimization.html for details.
253 *** New option: [[doc:org-html-link-use-abs-url][org-html-link-use-abs-url]] to force using absolute URLs
255 This is an export/publishing option, and should be used either within
256 the =#+OPTIONS= line(s) or within a [[doc:org-publish-project-alist][org-publish-project-alist]].
258 Setting this option to =t= is needed when the HTML output does not
259 allow relative URLs. For example, the =contrib/lisp/ox-rss.el=
260 library produces a RSS feed, and RSS feeds need to use absolute URLs,
261 so a combination of =:html-link-home "..." and :html-link-use-abs-url
262 t= is required---see the configuration example in the comment section
265 *** New option [[doc:org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd][org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd]]
267 This makes java executable configurable for ditaa blocks.
269 *** New options [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex][org-babel-latex-htlatex]] and [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages][org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages]]
271 This enables SVG generation from latex code blocks.
273 *** New option: [[doc:org-habit-show-done-always-green][org-habit-show-done-always-green]]
275 See [[http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-05/msg00214.html][this message]] from Max Mikhanosha.
277 *** New option: [[doc:org-babel-inline-result-wrap][org-babel-inline-result-wrap]]
279 If you set this to the following
281 : (setq org-babel-inline-result-wrap "$%s$")
283 then inline code snippets will be wrapped into the formatting string.
285 *** New option: [[doc:org-special-ctrl-o][org-special-ctrl-o]]
287 This variable can be used to turn off the special behavior of
289 ** New contributed packages
291 - =ox-bibtex.el= by Nicolas Goaziou :: an utility to handle BibTeX
292 export to both LaTeX and HTML exports. It uses the [[http://www.lri.fr/~filliatr/bibtex2html/][bibtex2html]]
295 - =org-screenshot.el= by Max Mikhanosha :: an utility to handle
296 screenshots easily from Org, using the external tool [[http://freecode.com/projects/scrot][scrot]].
300 *** "QUOTE" keywords in headlines are deprecated
302 "QUOTE" keywords are an undocumented feature in Org. When a headline
303 starts with the keyword "QUOTE", its contents are parsed as
304 a ~quote-section~ and treated as an example block. You can achieve
305 the same with example blocks.
307 This feature is deprecated and will be removed in the next Org
314 Installation instructions have been updated and simplified.
316 If you have troubles installing or updating Org, focus on these
319 - when updating via a =.zip/.tar.gz= file, you only need to set the
320 =load-path= in your =.emacs=. Set it before any other Org
321 customization that would call autoloaded Org functions.
323 - when updating by pulling Org's Git repository, make sure to create the
324 correct autoloads. You can do this by running =~$ make autoloads= (to
325 only create the autoloads) or by running =~$ make= (to also compile
326 the Emacs lisp files.) =~$ make help= and =~$ make helpall= gives you
327 detailed explanations.
329 - when updating through ELPA (either from GNU ELPA or from Org ELPA),
330 you have to install Org's ELPA package in a session where no Org
331 function has been called already.
333 When in doubt, run =M-x org-version RET= and see if you have a mixed-up
336 See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Installation for details.
338 ** Incompatible changes
340 Org 8.0 is the most disruptive major version of Org.
342 If you configured export options, you will have to update some of them.
344 If you used =#+ATTR_*= keywords, the syntax of the attributes changed and
345 you will have to update them.
347 Below is a list of changes for which you need to take action.
349 See http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html for the most recent version of
350 this list and for detailed instructions on how to migrate.
352 **** New export engine
354 Org 8.0 comes with a new export engine written by Nicolas Goaziou. This
355 export engine relies on ~org-element.el~ (Org's syntax parser), which was
356 already in Org's core. This new export engine triggered the rewriting of
357 /all/ export back-ends.
359 The most visible change is the export dispatcher, accessible through the
360 keybinding =C-c C-e=. By default, this menu only shows some of the
361 built-in export formats, but you can add more formats by loading them
362 directly (e.g., =(require 'ox-texinfo)= or by configuring the option
363 [[doc:org-export-backends][org-export-backends]].
365 More contributed back-ends are available from the =contrib/= directory, the
366 corresponding files start with the =ox-= prefix.
368 If you customized an export back-end (like HTML or LaTeX), you will need to
369 rename some options so that your customization is not lost. Typically, an
370 option starting with =org-export-html-= is now named =org-html-=. See the
371 manual for details and check [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html][this Worg page]] for directions.
373 **** New syntax for #+ATTR_HTML/LaTeX/... options
375 : #+ATTR_HTML width="200px"
377 should now be written
379 : #+ATTR_HTML :width 200px
381 Keywords like =#+ATTR_HTML= and =#+ATTR_LaTeX= are defined in their
382 respective back-ends, and the list of supported parameters depends on
383 each backend. See Org's manual for details.
385 **** ~org-remember.el~ has been removed
387 You cannot use =remember.el= anymore to capture notes.
389 Support for remember templates has been obsoleted since long, it is
392 Use =M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET= to import your
393 remember templates into capture templates.
395 **** ~org-jsinfo.el~ has been merged into ~ox-html.el~
397 If you were requiring ~ox-jsinfo.el~ in your ~.emacs.el~ file, you
398 will have to remove this requirement from your initialization file.
400 **** Note for third-party developers
402 The name of the files for export back-end have changed: we now use the
403 prefix =ox-= for those files (like we use the =ob-= prefix for Babel
404 files.) For example ~org-html.el~ is now ~ox-html.el~.
406 If your code relies on these files, please update the names in your
409 **** Packages moved from core to contrib
411 Since packages in Org's core are meant to be part of GNU Emacs, we try
412 to be minimalist when it comes to adding files into core. For 8.0, we
413 moved some contributions into the =contrib/= directory.
415 The rationale for deciding that these files should live in =contrib/=
416 is either because they rely on third-party software that is not
417 included in Emacs, or because they are not targeting a significant
420 - org-colview-xemacs.el
427 Note that ~ox-freedmind.el~ has been rewritten by Jambunathan,
428 ~org-mew.el~ has been enhanced by Tokuya Kameshima and
429 ~ox-taskjuggler.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and others.
431 Also, the Taskjuggler exporter now uses TJ3 by default. John Hendy
432 wrote [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler3.html][a tutorial on Worg]] for the TJ3 export.
434 ** New packages in core
436 *** ~ob-makefile.el~ by Eric Schulte and Thomas S. Dye
438 =ob-makefile.el= implements Org Babel support for Makefile tangling.
440 *** ~ox-man.el~ by Luis Anaya
442 =ox-man.el= allows you to export Org files to =man= pages.
444 *** ~ox-md.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou
446 =ox-md.el= allows you to export Org files to Markdown files, using the
447 vanilla [[http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/][Markdown syntax]].
449 *** ~ox-texinfo.el~ by Jonathan Leech-Pepin
451 =ox-texinfo.el= allows you to export Org files to [[http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/][Texinfo]] files.
453 ** New packages in contrib
455 *** ~ob-julia.el~ by G. Jay Kerns
457 [[http://julialang.org/][Julia]] is a new programming language.
459 =ob-julia.el= provides Org Babel support for evaluating Julia source
462 *** ~ob-mathomatic.el~ by Luis Anaya
464 [[http://www.mathomatic.org/][mathomatic]] a portable, command-line, educational CAS and calculator
465 software, written entirely in the C programming language.
467 ~ob-mathomatic.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating mathomatic
470 *** ~ob-tcl.el~ by Luis Anaya
472 ~ob-tcl.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating [[http://www.tcl.tk/][Tcl]] source code.
474 *** ~org-bullets.el~ by Evgeni Sabof
476 Display bullets instead of stars for headlines.
478 Also see [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#sec-8-12][this updated FAQ]] on how to display another character than "*"
479 for starting headlines.
481 *** ~org-favtable.el~ by Marc-Oliver Ihm
483 ~org-favtable.el~ helps you to create and update a table of favorite
484 locations in org, keeping the most frequently visited lines right at
485 the top. This table is called "favtable". See the documentation on
486 [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-favtable.html][Worg]].
488 *** ~ox-confluence.el~ by Sรฉbastien Delafond
490 ~ox-confluence.el~ lets you convert Org files to [[https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence%2BWiki%2BMarkup][Confluence Wiki]] files.
492 *** ~ox-deck.el~ and ~ox-s5.el~ by Rick Frankel
494 [[http://imakewebthings.com/deck.js/][deck.js]] is a javascript library for displaying HTML ages as
495 presentations. ~ox-deck.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
498 [[http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/][s5]] is a set of scripts which also allows to display HTML pages as
499 presentations. ~ox-s5.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
502 *** ~ox-groff.el~ by Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou
504 The [[http://www.gnu.org/software/groff/][groff]] (GNU troff) software is a typesetting package which reads
505 plain text mixed with formatting commands and produces formatted
508 Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou implemented ~ox-groff.el~ to allow
509 conversion from Org files to groff.
511 *** ~ox-koma-letter.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and Alan Schmitt
513 This back-end allow to export Org pages to the =KOMA Scrlttr2= format.
515 *** ~ox-rss.el~ by Bastien
517 This back-end lets you export Org pages to RSS 2.0 feeds. Combined
518 with the HTML publishing feature, this allows you to build a blog
525 **** New export generic options
527 If you use Org exporter, we advise you to re-read [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Exporting][the manual section about
528 it]]. It has been updated and includes new options.
530 Among the new/updated export options, three are of particular importance:
532 - [[doc:org-export-allow-bind-keywords][org-export-allow-bind-keywords]] :: This option replaces the old option
533 =org-export-allow-BIND= and the default value is =nil=, not =confirm=.
534 You will need to explicitly set this to =t= in your initialization
535 file if you want to allow =#+BIND= keywords.
537 - [[doc:org-export-with-planning][org-export-with-planning]] :: This new option controls the export of
538 =SCHEDULED:, DEADLINE:, CLOSED:= lines, and planning information is
539 now skipped by default during export. This use to be the job of
540 [[doc:org-export-with-timestamps][org-export-with-timestamps]], but this latter option has been given a
541 new role: it controls the export of /standalone time-stamps/. When
542 set to =nil=, Org will not export active and inactive time-stamps
543 standing on a line by themselves or within a paragraph that only
544 contains time-stamps.
546 To check if an option has been introduced or its default value changed in
547 Org 8.0, do =C-h v [option] RET= and check if the documentation says that
548 the variable has been introduced (or changed) in version 24.4 of Emacs.
550 **** Enhanced default stylesheet for the HTML exporter
552 See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-style-default][org-html-style-default]].
554 **** New tags, classes and ids for the HTML exporter
556 See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-divs][org-html-divs]].
558 **** Support for tikz pictures in LaTeX export
559 **** ~org-man.el~: New export function for "man" links
560 **** ~org-docview.el~: New export function for docview links
561 *** Structure editing
563 **** =C-u C-u M-RET= inserts a heading at the end of the parent subtree
564 **** Cycling to the =CONTENTS= view keeps inline tasks folded
566 [[doc:org-cycle-hook][org-cycle-hook]] as a new function [[doc:org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks][org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks]] which
567 prevents the display of inline tasks when showing the content of a subtree.
569 **** =C-c -= in a region makes a list item for each line
571 This is the opposite of the previous behavior, where =C-c -= on a region
572 would create one item for the whole region, and where =C-u C-c -= would
573 create an item for each line. Now =C-c -= on the selected region creates
574 an item per line, and =C-u C-c -= creates a single item for the whole
577 **** When transposing words, markup characters are now part of the words
579 In Emacs, you can transpose words with =M-t=. Transposing =*these*
580 _words__= will preserve markup.
582 **** New command [[doc:org-set-property-and-value][org-set-property-and-value]] bound to =C-c C-x P=
584 This command allows you to quickly add both the property and its value. It
585 is useful in buffers where there are many properties and where =C-c C-x p=
586 can slow down the flow of editing too much.
588 **** New commands [[doc:org-next-block][org-next-block]] and [[doc:org-previous-block][org-previous-block]]
590 These commands allow you to go to the previous block (=C-c M-b= or the
591 speedy key =B=) or to the next block (=C-c M-f= or the speedy key =F=.)
593 **** New commands [[doc:org-drag-line-forward][org-drag-line-forward]] and [[doc:org-drag-line-backward][org-drag-line-backward]]
595 These commands emulate the old behavior of =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= but are
596 now bound to =S-M-<down>= and =S-M-<up>= respectively, since =M-<down>= and
597 =M-<up>= now drag the whole element at point (a paragraph, a table, etc.)
598 forward and backward.
600 **** When a list item has a checkbox, inserting a new item uses a checkbox too
601 **** When sorting entries/items, only the description of links is considered
603 Now Org will sort this list
605 : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
606 : - [[http://def.org][A]]
610 : - [[http://def.org][A]]
611 : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
613 by comparing the descriptions, not the links.
614 Same when sorting headlines instead of list items.
615 **** New option =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp=
617 For example, setting this option to "^;;; " in Emacs lisp files and using
618 =orgstruct-mode= in those files will allow you to cycle through visibility
619 states as if lines starting with ";;; *..." where headlines.
621 In general, you want to set =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp= as a file
624 **** New behavior of [[doc:org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift][org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift]]
626 The default is now to ask for a time-shift only when there is a time-stamp.
627 When called with a universal prefix argument =C-u=, it will not ask for a
628 time-shift even if there is a time-stamp.
630 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree][org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree]]
632 This defaults to =t= so that the whole subtree is highlighted when you
633 restrict the agenda view to it with =C-c C-x <= (or the speed command =<=).
634 The default setting helps ensuring that you are not adding tasks after the
635 restricted region. If you find this highlighting too intrusive, set this
637 **** New option [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]]
639 When switching back from a =DONE= keyword to a =TODO= keyword, Org now
640 removes the =CLOSED= planning information, if any. It also removes this
641 information when going back to a non-TODO state (e.g., with =C-c C-t SPC=).
642 If you want to keep the =CLOSED= planning information when removing the
643 TODO keyword, set [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]] to =t=.
645 **** New option [[doc:org-image-actual-width][org-image-actual-width]]
647 This option allows you to change the width of in-buffer displayed images.
648 The default is to use the actual width of the image, but you can use a
649 fixed value for all images, or fall back on an attribute like
651 : #+attr_html: :width 300px
652 *** Scheduled/deadline
654 **** Implement "delay" cookies for scheduled items
656 If you want to delay the display of a scheduled task in the agenda, you can
657 now use a delay cookie like this: =SCHEDULED: <2004-12-25 Sat -2d>=. The
658 task is still scheduled on the 25th but will appear in your agenda starting
659 from two days later (i.e. from March 27th.)
661 Imagine for example that your co-workers are not done in due time and tell
662 you "we need two more days". In that case, you may want to delay the
663 display of the task in your agenda by two days, but you still want the task
664 to appear as scheduled on March 25th.
666 In case the task contains a repeater, the delay is considered to affect all
667 occurrences; if you want the delay to only affect the first scheduled
668 occurrence of the task, use =--2d= instead. See [[doc:org-scheduled-delay-days][org-scheduled-delay-days]]
669 and [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline]] for details on how to
670 control this globally or per agenda.
672 **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-s= will insert a delay cookie for scheduled tasks
674 See the previous section for why delay cookies may be useful.
676 **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-d= will insert a warning delay for deadline tasks
678 =C-u C-u C-c C-d= now inserts a warning delay to deadlines.
679 *** Calendar, diary and appts
681 **** New variable [[doc:org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map][org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map]]
683 By default, this new local map uses "." to go to today's date, like in the
684 normal =M-x calendar RET=. If you want to deactivate this and to reassign
685 the "@" key to =calendar-goto-today=, use this:
687 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
688 ;; Unbind "." in Org's calendar:
689 (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map (kbd ".") nil)
691 ;; Bind "@" to `calendar-goto-today':
692 (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map
694 (lambda () (interactive) (org-eval-in-calendar '(calendar-goto-today))))
697 **** In Org's calendar, =!= displays diary entries of the date at point
699 This is useful when you want to check if you don't already have an
700 appointment when setting new ones with =C-c .= or =C-c s=. =!= will
701 call =diary-view-entries= and display the diary in a separate buffer.
703 **** [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]]: only keep the descriptions of links
705 [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]] returns diary information from Org files, but it returns it
706 in a diary buffer, not in an Org mode buffer. When links are displayed,
707 only show their description, not the full links.
710 **** New agenda type =agenda*= and entry types =:scheduled* :deadline*=
712 When defining agenda custom commands, you can now use =agenda*=: this will
713 list entries that have both a date and a time. This is useful when you
714 want to build a list of appointments.
716 You can also set [[doc:org-agenda-entry-types][org-agenda-entry-types]] either globally or locally in
717 each agenda custom command and use =:timestamp*= and/or =:deadline*= there.
719 Another place where this is useful is your =.diary= file:
721 : %%(org-diary :scheduled*) ~/org/rdv.org
723 This will list only entries from =~/org/rdv.org= that are scheduled with a
724 time value (i.e. appointments).
726 **** New agenda sorting strategies
728 [[doc:org-agenda-sorting-strategy][org-agenda-sorting-strategy]] allows these new sorting strategies:
730 | Strategy | Explanations |
731 |----------------+------------------------------------------|
732 | timestamp-up | Sort by any timestamp, early first |
733 | timestamp-down | Sort by any timestamp, late first |
734 | scheduled-up | Sort by scheduled timestamp, early first |
735 | scheduled-down | Sort by scheduled timestamp, late first |
736 | deadline-up | Sort by deadline timestamp, early first |
737 | deadline-down | Sort by deadline timestamp, late first |
738 | ts-up | Sort by active timestamp, early first |
739 | ts-down | Sort by active timestamp, late first |
740 | tsia-up | Sort by inactive timestamp, early first |
741 | tsia-down | Sort by inactive timestamp, late first |
743 **** New options to limit the number of agenda entries
745 You can now limit the number of entries in an agenda view. This is
746 different from filters: filters only /hide/ the entries in the agenda,
747 while limits are set while generating the list of agenda entries.
749 These new options are available:
751 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-entries][org-agenda-max-entries]] :: limit by number of entries.
752 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] :: limit by number of TODOs.
753 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-tags][org-agenda-max-tags]] :: limit by number of tagged entries.
754 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-effort][org-agenda-max-effort]] :: limit by effort (minutes).
756 For example, if you locally set [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] to 3 in an agenda
757 view, the agenda will be limited to the first three todos. Other entries
758 without a TODO keyword or beyond the third TODO headline will be ignored.
760 When setting a limit (e.g. about an effort's sum), the default behavior is
761 to exclude entries that cannot be checked against (e.g. entries that have
762 no effort property.) To include other entries too, you can set the limit
763 to a negative number. For example =(setq org-agenda-max-tags -3)= will not
764 show the fourth tagged headline (and beyond), but it will also show
765 non-tagged headlines.
767 **** =~= in agenda view sets temporary limits
769 You can hit =~= in the agenda to temporarily set limits: this will
770 regenerate the agenda as if the limits were set. This is useful for
771 example when you want to only see a list of =N= tasks, or a list of tasks
772 that take only =N= minutes.
774 **** "=" in agenda view filters by regular expressions
776 You can now filter agenda entries by regular expressions using ~=~. =C-u
777 == will filter entries out. Regexp filters are cumulative. You can set
778 [[doc:org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset][org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset]] to suit your needs in each agenda view.
780 **** =|= in agenda view resets all filters
782 Since it's common to combine tag filters, category filters, and now regexp
783 filters, there is a new command =|= to reset all filters at once.
785 **** Allow writing an agenda to an =.org= file
787 You can now write an agenda view to an =.org= file. It copies the
788 headlines and their content (but not subheadings) into the new file.
790 This is useful when you want to quickly share an agenda containing the full
793 **** New commands to drag an agenda line forward (=M-<down>=) or backward (=M-<up>=)
795 It sometimes handy to move agenda lines around, just to quickly reorganize
796 your tasks, or maybe before saving the agenda to a file. Now you can use
797 =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= to move the line forward or backward.
799 This does not persist after a refresh of the agenda, and this does not
800 change the =.org= files who contribute to the agenda.
802 **** Use =%b= for displaying "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view
804 [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] now allows to use a =%b= formatter to tell Org
805 to display "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view.
807 This is useful when you want to display the task hierarchy in your agenda.
809 **** Use =%l= for displaying the headline's level in the agenda view
811 [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] allows to use a =%l= formatter to tell Org to
812 display entries with additional spaces corresponding to their level in the
815 **** [[doc:org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] will ask before overwriting an existing file
817 =M-x org-agenda-write RET= (or =C-c C-w= from an agenda buffer) used to
818 overwrite preexisting file with the same name without confirmation. It now
819 asks for a confirmation.
821 **** New commands =M-m= and =M-*= to toggle (all) mark(s) for bulk action
823 - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle][org-agenda-bulk-toggle]] :: this command is bound to =M-m= and toggles
824 the mark of the entry at point.
826 - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all][org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all]] :: this command is bound to =M-*= and
827 toggles all the marks in the current agenda.
829 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level][org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level]]
831 This option sets the maximum outline level to display in search view.
832 E.g. when this is set to 1, the search view will only show headlines of
835 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds][org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds]]
837 This allows to compare times using seconds instead of days when honoring
838 options like =org-agenda-todo-ignore-*= in the agenda display.
840 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-entry-text-leaders][org-agenda-entry-text-leaders]]
842 This allows you to get rid of the ">" character that gets added in front of
843 entries excerpts when hitting =E= in the agenda view.
845 **** New formatting string for past deadlines in [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]
847 The default formatting for past deadlines is ="%2d d. ago: "=, which makes
848 it explicit that the deadline is in the past. You can configure this via
849 [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]. Note that the width of the formatting
850 string is important to keep the agenda alignment clean.
852 **** New allowed value =repeated-after-deadline= for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]]
854 When [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]] is set to
855 =repeated-after-deadline=, the agenda will skip scheduled items if they are
856 repeated beyond the current deadline.
858 **** New option for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled][org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled]]
860 This variable may be set to nil, t, the symbol `pre-scheduled', or a number
861 which will then give the number of days before the actual deadline when the
862 prewarnings should resume. The symbol `pre-scheduled' eliminates the
863 deadline prewarning only prior to the scheduled date.
865 Read the full docstring for details.
867 **** [[doc:org-class][org-class]] now supports holiday strings in the skip-weeks parameter
869 For example, this task will now be skipped only on new year's day:
872 : <%%(org-class 2012 1 1 2013 12 12 2 "New Year's Day")>
875 **** Allow =C-1= as a prefix for [[doc:org-agenda-capture][org-agenda-capture]] and [[doc:org-capture][org-capture]]
877 With a =C-1= prefix, the capture mechanism will use the =HH:MM= value at
878 point (if any) or the current =HH:MM= time as the default time for the
881 **** Expand keywords within %(sexp) placeholder in capture templates
883 If you use a =%:keyword= construct within a =%(sexp)= construct, Org will
884 expand the keywords before expanding the =%(sexp)=.
886 **** Allow to contextualize capture (and agenda) commands by checking the name of the buffer
888 [[doc:org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]] and [[doc:org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
889 allow you to define what capture templates and what agenda commands should
890 be available in various contexts. It is now possible for the context to
891 check against the name of the buffer.
894 Using =#+TAGS: { Tag1 : Tag2 Tag3 }= will define =Tag1= as a /group tag/
895 (note the colon after =Tag1=). If you search for =Tag1=, it will return
896 headlines containing either =Tag1=, =Tag2= or =Tag3= (or any combination
899 You can use group tags for sparse tree in an Org buffer, for creating
900 agenda views, and for filtering.
902 See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Tag-groups for details.
906 **** =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= will ignore non-core link functions
908 Org knows how to store links from Org buffers, from info files and from
909 other Emacs buffers. Org can be taught how to store links from any buffer
910 through new link protocols (see [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Adding-hyperlink-types]["Adding hyperlink types"]] in the manual.)
912 Sometimes you want Org to ignore added link protocols and store the link
913 as if the protocol was not known.
915 You can now do this with =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET=.
917 **** =C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= on an active region will store links for each lines
919 Imagine for example that you want to store a link for every message in a
920 Gnus summary buffer. In that case =C-x h C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link
921 RET= will store a link for every line (i.e. message) if the region is
924 **** =C-c C-M-l= will add a default description for links which don't have one
926 =C-c C-M-l= inserts all stored links. If a link does not have a
927 description, this command now adds a default one, so that we are not mixing
928 with-description and without-description links when inserting them.
930 **** No curly braces to bracket links within internal links
932 When storing a link to a headline like
934 : * See [[http://orgmode.org][Org website]]
936 [[doc:org-store-link][org-store-link]] used to convert the square brackets into curly brackets.
937 It does not anymore, taking the link description or the link path, when
938 there is no description.
941 **** Switching between #+TBLFM lines
943 If you have several =#+TBLFM= lines below a table, =C-c C-c= on a line will
944 apply the formulas from this line, and =C-c C-c= on another line will apply
945 those other formulas.
947 **** You now use "nan" for empty fields in Calc formulas
949 If empty fields are of interest, it is recommended to reread the section
950 [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Formula-syntax-for-Calc][3.5.2 Formula syntax for Calc]] of the manual because the description for the
951 mode strings has been clarified and new examples have been added towards
954 **** Handle localized time-stamps in formulas evaluation
956 If your =LOCALE= is set so that Org time-stamps use another language than
957 english, and if you make time computations in Org's table, it now works by
958 internally converting the time-stamps with a temporary =LOCALE=C= before
961 **** New lookup functions
963 There are now three lookup functions:
965 - [[doc:org-loopup-first][org-loopup-first]]
966 - [[doc:org-loopup-last][org-loopup-last]]
967 - [[doc:org-loopup-all][org-loopup-all]]
969 See [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Lookup-functions][the manual]] for details.
972 These new startup keywords are now available:
974 | Startup keyword | Option |
975 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
976 | =#+STARTUP: logdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer t)= |
977 | =#+STARTUP: nologdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer nil)= |
978 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
979 | =#+STARTUP: logstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed t)= |
980 | =#+STARTUP: nologstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed nil)= |
981 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
982 | =#+STARTUP: latexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview t)= |
983 | =#+STARTUP: nolatexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview nil)= |
987 **** New option [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]]
989 E.g. if [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]] is set to 5, time is 14:47 and you
990 clock in: then the clock starts at 14:45. If you clock out within the next
991 5 minutes, the clock line will be removed; if you clock out 8 minutes after
992 your clocked in, the clock out time will be 14:50.
994 **** New option [[doc:org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations][org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations]]
996 When non-nil, =C-c C-x C-d= uses effort durations. E.g., by default, one
997 day is considered to be a 8 hours effort, so a task that has been clocked
998 for 16 hours will be displayed as during 2 days in the clock display or in
1001 See [[doc:org-effort-durations][org-effort-durations]] on how to set effort durations and
1002 [[doc:org-time-clocksum-format][org-time-clocksum-format]] for more on time clock formats.
1004 **** New option [[doc:org-clock-x11idle-program-name][org-clock-x11idle-program-name]]
1006 This allows to set the name of the program which prints X11 idle time in
1007 milliseconds. The default is to use =x11idle=.
1009 **** New option [[doc:org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time][org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time]]
1011 When non-nil, use the last clock out time for [[doc:org-todo][org-todo]]. Note that this
1012 option has precedence over the combined use of [[doc:org-use-effective-time][org-use-effective-time]] and
1013 [[doc:org-extend-today-until][org-extend-today-until]].
1015 **** =S-<left/right>= on a clocksum column will update the sum by updating the last clock
1016 **** =C-u 3 C-S-<up/down>= will update clock timestamps synchronously by 3 units
1017 **** New parameter =:wstart= for clocktables to define the week start day
1018 **** New parameter =:mstart= to state the starting day of the month
1019 **** Allow relative times in clocktable tstart and tend options
1020 **** The clocktable summary is now a caption
1021 **** =:tstart= and =:tend= and friends allow relative times like "<-1w>" or "<now>"
1024 **** You can now use =C-c C-k= for [[doc:org-edit-src-abort][org-edit-src-abort]]
1026 This allows you to quickly cancel editing a source block.
1028 **** =C-u C-u M-x org-babel-tangle RET= tangles by the target file of the block at point
1030 This is handy if you want to tangle all source code blocks that have the
1031 same target than the block at point.
1033 **** New options for auto-saving the base buffer or the source block editing buffer
1035 When [[doc:org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save][org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save]] is set to =t=, editing a source block
1036 in a new window will turn on =auto-save-mode= and save the code in a new
1037 file under the same directory than the base Org file.
1039 When [[doc:org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay][org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay]] is set to a number of minutes =N=,
1040 the base Org buffer will be saved after this number of minutes of idle
1043 **** New =:post= header argument post-processes results
1045 This header argument may be used to pass the results of the current
1046 code block through another code block for post-processing. See the
1047 manual for a usage example.
1049 **** Commented out heading are ignored when collecting blocks for tangling
1051 If you comment out a heading (with =C-c ;= anywhere on the heading or in
1052 the subtree), code blocks from within this heading are now ignored when
1053 collecting blocks for tangling.
1055 **** New option [[doc:org-babel-hash-show-time][org-babel-hash-show-time]] to show a time-stamp in the result hash
1056 **** Do not ask for confirmation if cached value is current
1058 Do not run [[doc:org-babel-confirm-evaluate][org-babel-confirm-evaluate]] if source block has a cache and the
1059 cache value is current as there is no evaluation involved in this case.
1060 **** =ob-sql.el= and =ob-python.el= have been improved.
1061 **** New Babel files only need to =(require 'ob)=
1063 When writing a new Babel file, you now only need to use =(require 'ob)=
1064 instead of requiring each Babel library one by one.
1067 - Org now fontifies radio link targets by default
1068 - In the agenda, use [[doc:org-todo-keyword-faces][org-todo-keyword-faces]] to highlight selected TODO keywords
1069 - New face [[doc:org-priority][org-priority]], enhanced fontification of priority cookies in agenda
1070 - New face [[doc:org-tag-group][org-tag-group]] for group tags
1074 - New speedy key =s= pour [[doc:org-narrow-to-subtree][org-narrow-to-subtree]]
1075 - Handling of [[doc:org-html-table-row][org-html-table-row]] has been updated (incompatible change)
1076 - [[doc:org-export-html-table-tag][org-export-html-table-tag]] is replaced by [[doc:org-html-table-default-attributes][org-html-table-default-attributes]]
1077 - Support using =git-annex= with Org attachments
1078 - org-protocol: Pass optional value using query in url to capture from protocol
1079 - When the refile history is empty, use the current filename as default
1080 - When you cannot change the TODO state of a task, Org displays the blocking task
1081 - New option [[doc:org-mobile-allpriorities][org-mobile-allpriorities]]
1082 - org-bibtex.el now use =visual-line-mode= instead of the deprecated =longlines-mode=
1083 - [[doc:org-format-latex-options][org-format-latex-options]] allows to set the foreground/background colors automatically
1084 - New option [[doc:org-archive-file-header-format][org-archive-file-header-format]]
1085 - New "neg" entity in [[doc:org-entities][org-entities]]
1086 - New function [[doc:org-docview-export][org-docview-export]] to export docview links
1087 - New =:eps= header argument for ditaa code blocks
1088 - New option [[doc:org-gnus-no-server][org-gnus-no-server]] to start Gnus with =gnus-no-server=
1089 - Org is now distributed with =htmlize.el= version 1.43
1090 - ~org-drill.el~ has been updated to version 2.3.7
1091 - ~org-mac-iCal.el~ now supports MacOSX version up to 10.8
1092 - Various improvements to ~org-contacts.el~ and =orgpan.el=
1096 *** Spanish translation of the Org guide by David Arroyo Menรฉndez
1098 David (and others) translated the Org compact guide in spanish:
1100 You can read the [[http://orgmode.org/worg/orgguide/orgguide.es.pdf][PDF guide]].
1102 *** ~poporg.el~ and ~outorg.el~
1104 Two new libraries (~poporg.el~ by Franรงois Pinard and ~outorg.el~ by
1105 Thorsten Jolitz) now enable editing of comment-sections from source-code
1106 buffers in temporary Org-mode buffers, making the full editing power of
1107 Org-mode available. ~outorg.el~ comes together with ~outshine.el~ and
1108 ~navi-mode.el~, two more libraries by Thorsten Jolitz with the goal to give
1109 source-code buffers the /look & feel/ of Org-mode buffers while greatly
1110 improving navigation and structure editing. A detailed description can be
1111 found here: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-outside-org.html
1113 Here are two screencasts demonstrating Thorsten's tools:
1115 - [[http://youtu.be/nqE6YxlY0rw]["Modern conventions for Emacs Lisp files"]]

1118 *** MobileOrg for iOS
1120 MobileOrg for iOS back in the App Store The 1.6.0 release was focused on
1121 the new Dropbox API and minor bug fixes but also includes a new ability to
1122 launch in Capture mode. Track development and contribute [[https://github.com/MobileOrg/mobileorg/issues][on github]].
1126 ** New option [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]]
1128 [[doc::org-use-tag-inheritance][org-use-tag-inheritance]] controls whether tags are inherited when
1129 org-tags-view is called (either in =tags=, =tags-tree= or =tags-todo=
1132 When generating other agenda types such as =agenda=, =todo= and
1133 =todo-tree=, tags inheritance is not used when selecting the entries
1134 to display. Still, you might want to have all tag information correct
1135 in the agenda buffer, e.g. for tag filtering. In that case, add the
1136 agenda type to this variable.
1138 Setting this variable to nil should considerably speeds up the agenda
1141 Note that the default was to display inherited tags in the agenda
1142 lines even if `org-use-tag-inheritance' was nil. The default is now
1143 to *never* display inherited tags in agenda lines, but to /know/ about
1144 them when the agenda type is listed in [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]].
1146 ** New default value nil for [[doc::org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks][org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks]]
1148 Using `nil' as the default value speeds up the agenda generation. You
1149 can hit `#' (or `C-u #') in agenda buffers to temporarily dim (or turn
1150 invisible) blocked tasks.
1152 ** New speedy keys for [[doc::org-speed-commands-default][org-speed-commands-default]]
1154 You can now use `:' (instead of `;') for setting tags---this is
1155 consistent with using the `:' key in agenda view.
1157 You can now use `=' for [[doc::org-columns][org-columns]].
1159 ** =org-float= is now obsolete, use =diary-float= instead
1160 ** No GPL manual anymore
1162 There used to be a GPL version of the Org manual, but this is not the
1163 case anymore, the Free Software Foundation does not permit this.
1165 The GNU FDL license is now included in the manual directly.
1167 ** Enhanced compatibility with Emacs 22 and XEmacs
1169 Thanks to Achim for his work on enhancing Org's compatibility with
1170 various Emacsen. Things may not be perfect, but Org should work okay
1171 in most environments.
1175 ** New ELPA repository for Org packages
1177 You can now add the Org ELPA repository like this:
1179 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
1180 (add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/") t)
1183 It contains both the =org-*.tar= package (the core Org distribution, also
1184 available through http://elpa.gnu.org) and the =org-plus*.tar= package (the
1185 extended Org distribution, with non-GNU packages from the =contrib/=
1188 See http://orgmode.org/elpa/
1190 ** Overview of the new keybindings
1192 | Keybinding | Speedy | Command |
1193 |-----------------+--------+-----------------------------|
1194 | =C-c C-x C-z= | | [[doc::org-clock-resolve][org-clock-resolve]] |

1208 ** New package and Babel language
1210 *** =org-eshell.el= by Konrad Hinsen is now in Org
1212 =org-eshell.el= allows you to create links from [[http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/eshell/index.html][Eshell]].
1214 *** Support for execution of Scala code blocks (see ob-scala.el)
1215 *** Support for execution of IO code blocks (see ob-io.el)
1217 ** Incompatible changes
1219 - If your code relies on =org-write-agenda=, please use
1220 [[doc::org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] from now on.
1222 - If your code relies on =org-make-link=, please use =concat=
1225 - =org-link-to-org-use-id= has been renamed to
1226 =org-id-link-to-org-use-id= and its default value is nil. The
1227 previous default was =create-if-interactive-and-no-custom-id=.
1229 ** New features and user-visible changes
1233 =org-element.el= is a toolbox for parsing and analyzing "elements"
1234 in an Org-mode buffer. This has been written by Nicolas Goaziou
1235 and has been tested for quite some time. It is now part of Org's
1236 core and many core functions rely on this package.
1238 Two functions might be particularly handy for users:
1239 =org-element-at-point= and =org-element-context=.
1241 See the docstrings for more details.
1243 Below is a list of editing and navigating commands that now rely
1244 on =org-element.el=.
1246 **** [[doc::org-fill-paragraph][org-fill-paragraph]] has been completely rewritten
1248 The filling mechanisms now rely on org-element, trying to do the
1249 right thing on each element in various contexts. E.g. filling in
1250 a list item will preserve indentation; filling in message-mode
1251 will fall back on the relevant filling functions; etc.
1253 **** [[doc::org-metaup][org-metaup]] and [[doc::org-metadown][org-metadown]] will drag the element backward/forward
1255 If you want to get the old behavior (i.e. moving a line up and
1256 down), you can first select the line as an active region, then
1257 =org-metaup= or =org-metadown= to move the region backward or
1258 forward. This also works with regions bigger than just one line.
1260 **** [[doc::org-up-element][org-up-element]] and [[doc::org-down-element][org-down-element]] (respectively =C-c C-^= and =C-c C-_=)
1262 This will move the point up/down in the hierarchy of elements.
1264 **** [[doc::org-backward-element][org-backward-element]] and [[doc::org-forward-element][org-forward-element]] (respectively =M-{= and =M-}=)
1266 This will move the point backward/forward in the hierarchy of
1269 **** [[doc::org-narrow-to-element][org-narrow-to-element]] will narrow to the element at point
1270 **** [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] will mark the element at point
1272 This command is bound to =M-h= and will mark the element at
1273 point. If the point is at a paragraph, it will mark the
1274 paragraph. If the point is at a list item, it will mark the list
1277 Note that if point is at the beginning of a list, it will mark
1280 To mark a subtree, you can either use =M-h= on the headline
1281 (since there is no ambiguity about the element you're at) or
1282 [[doc::org-mark-subtree][org-mark-subtree]] (=C-c @=) anywhere in the subtree.
1284 Invoking [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] repeatedly will try to mark the next
1285 element on top of the previous one(s). E.g. hitting =M-h= twice
1286 on a headline will mark the current subtree and the next one on
1291 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]]
1293 There is a new option =org-agenda-sticky= which enables "sticky"
1294 agendas. Sticky agendas remain opened in the background so that
1295 you don't need to regenerate them each time you hit the
1296 corresponding keystroke. This is a big time saver.
1298 When [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is =non-nil=, the agenda buffer will be
1299 named using the agenda key and its description. In sticky
1300 agendas, the =q= key will just bury the agenda buffers and
1301 further agenda commands will show existing buffer instead of
1302 generating new ones.
1304 If [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is set to =nil=, =q= will kill the single
1307 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
1309 Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
1310 agenda commands should be available from. For example, when set
1313 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
1314 (setq org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts
1315 '(("p" (in-file . "\\.txt"))))
1318 then the =p= agenda command will only be available from buffers
1319 visiting *.txt files. See the docstring and the manual for more
1320 details on how to use this.
1322 **** Changes in bulk actions
1324 The set of commands starting with =k ...= as been deleted and the
1325 features have been merged into the "bulk action" feature.
1327 After you marked some entries in the agenda, if you call =B s=,
1328 the agenda entries will be rescheduled using the date at point if
1329 on a date header. If you are on an entry with a timestamp, you
1330 will be prompted for a date to reschedule your marked entries to,
1331 using the timestamp at point as the default prompt.
1333 You can now use =k= to capture the marked entry and use the date
1334 at point as an overriding date for the capture template.
1336 To bind this behavior to =M-x org-capture RET= (or its
1337 keybinding), set the new option [[doc::org-capture-use-agenda-date][org-capture-use-agenda-date]] to
1340 **** =N= and =P= in the agenda will move to the next/previous item
1342 **** New command [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-all][org-agenda-bulk-mark-all]] to mark all items
1344 This new command is bound to =*= in agenda mode.
1346 There is also a new option [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-char][org-agenda-bulk-mark-char]] to set the
1347 character to use as a mark for bulk actions.
1349 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-persistent-marks][org-agenda-persistent-marks]]
1351 When set to =non-nil=, marks will remain visible after a bulk
1352 action. You can temporarily toggle this by pressing =p= when
1353 invoking [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-action][org-agenda-bulk-action]]. Marks are deleted if your
1354 rebuild the agenda buffer or move to another date/span (e.g. with
1357 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown]]
1359 =Non-nil= means skip timestamp line if same entry shows because
1362 In the agenda of today, an entry can show up multiple times
1363 because it has both a plain timestamp and has a nearby deadline.
1364 When this variable is t, then only the deadline is shown and the
1365 fact that the entry has a timestamp for or including today is not
1366 shown. When this variable is =nil=, the entry will be shown
1369 **** New =todo-unblocked= and =nottodo-unblocked= skip conditions
1371 See the [[http://orgmode.org/w/?p%3Dorg-mode.git%3Ba%3Dcommit%3Bh%3Df426da][git commit]] for more explanations.
1373 **** Allow category filtering in the agenda
1375 You can now filter the agenda by category. Pressing "<" will
1376 filter by the category of the item on the current line, and
1377 pressing "<" again will remove the filter. You can combine tag
1378 filters and category filters.
1380 You can use =org-agenda-category-filter= in your custom agenda
1381 views and =org-agenda-category-filter-preset= in your main
1384 See also the new command [[doc::org-agenda-filter-by-top-category][org-agenda-filter-by-top-category]]:
1385 hitting =^= will filter by "Top" category: only show entries that
1386 are of the same category than the Top category of the entry at
1391 **** Inserting links
1393 When inserting links through [[doc::org-insert-link][org-insert-link]], the description is
1394 now displayed first, followed by the literal link, as the
1395 description is often more useful when you look for the link you
1398 Completion now complete both literal links and description. If
1399 you complete a description, the literal link and its description
1400 will be inserted directly, whereas when you complete the literal
1401 link, you will be prompted for a description (as with Org 7.8.)
1403 In the completion buffer, links to the current buffer are now
1406 **** New templates =%h= and =%(sexp)= for abbreviated links
1408 On top of =%s= template, which is replaced by the link tag in
1409 abbreviated links, you can now use =%h= (which does the same than =%s=
1410 but does not hexify the tag) and =%(sexp)= (which can run a function
1411 that takes the tag as its own argument.)
1413 **** New link type =help=
1415 You can now create links from =help= buffers.
1417 For example, if you request help for the command [[doc::org-agenda][org-agenda]] with
1418 =C-h f org-agenda RET=, creating a link from this buffer will let
1419 you go back to the same buffer.
1421 **** New command [[doc::org-insert-all-links][org-insert-all-links]]
1423 This will insert all links as list items. With a universal
1424 prefix argument, links will not be deleted from the variable
1427 This new command is bound to =C-c C-M-l=.
1429 **** New option [[doc::org-url-hexify-p][org-url-hexify-p]]
1431 When set to =nil=, the =URL= part of a link will not be hexified.
1433 **** Org can now open multiple shell links
1435 **** New option [[doc::org-doi-server-url][org-doi-server-url]] to specify an alternate DOI server
1437 **** RET now follows time stamps links
1441 **** [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] and =org-archive-*= can now loop in the active region
1443 When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, using
1444 [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] or =org-archive-*= commands in the active region will
1445 loop over headlines. This is handy if you want to set the TODO
1446 keyword for several items, or archive them quickly.
1448 **** You can now set tags for headlines in a region
1450 If [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, then
1451 selecting the region and hitting =C-c C-q= will set the tags for
1452 all headlines in the region.
1454 **** New command [[doc::org-insert-drawer][org-insert-drawer]] to insert a drawer interactively
1456 **** Comments start with "^[ \t]*# " anywhere on a line
1458 Note that the space after the hashtag is mandatory. Comments
1459 with "^#+" are not supported anymore.
1461 **** New speed key =#= to toggle the COMMENT cookie on a headline
1463 **** =indent-region-function= is now set to [[doc::org-indent-region][org-indent-region]]
1465 =C-M-\= should now produce useful results.
1467 You can unindent the buffer with [[doc::org-unindent-buffer][org-unindent-buffer]].
1469 **** New option [[doc::org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree][org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree]]
1471 When =non-nil=, =S-M-<left>= will promote level-1 subtrees
1472 containing other subtrees. The level-1 headline will be
1473 commented out. You can revert to the previous state with =M-x
1478 **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-z= for [[doc::org-clock-resolve][org-clock-resolve]]
1480 **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-q= for [[doc::org-clock-cancel][org-clock-cancel]]
1482 **** New command [[doc::org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] to clock in the last clocked item
1484 This command is bound to =C-c C-x C-x= and will clock in the last
1485 clocked entry, if any.
1487 **** =C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-out][org-clock-out]] =RET= now prompts for a state to switch to
1489 **** =S-M-<up/down>= on a clock timestamps adjusts the previous/next clock
1491 **** New option [[doc::org-clock-continuously][org-clock-continuously]]
1493 When set to =nil=, clocking in a task will first try to find the
1494 last clocked out task and restart from when that task was clocked
1497 You can temporarily activate continuous clocking with =C-u C-u
1498 C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-in][org-clock-in]] =RET= (three universal prefix arguments)
1499 and =C-u C-u M-x= [[org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] =RET= (two universal prefix
1503 **** New option [[doc::org-clock-frame-title-format][org-clock-frame-title-format]]
1505 This option sets the value of =frame-title-format= when clocking
1508 **** New options for controlling the clockreport display
1510 [[doc::org-clock-file-time-cell-format][org-clock-file-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the file time
1511 cells in clockreport.
1513 [[doc::org-clock-total-time-cell-format][org-clock-total-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the total
1514 time cells in clockreport.
1517 **** New options for controlling the clock/timer display
1519 [[doc::org-clock-clocked-in-display][org-clock-clocked-in-display]]: control whether the current clock
1520 is displayed in the mode line and/or frame title.
1522 [[doc::org-timer-display][org-timer-display]]: control whether the current timer is displayed
1523 in the mode line and/or frame title.
1525 This allows the clock and timer to be displayed in the frame
1526 title instead of, or as well as, the mode line. This is useful
1527 for people with limited space in the mode line but with ample
1528 space in the frame title.
1532 **** New option [[doc::org-custom-properties][org-custom-properties]]
1534 The visibility of properties listed in this options can be turn
1535 on/off with [[doc::org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility][org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility]]. This might
1536 be useful for properties used by third-part tools or that you
1537 don't want to see temporarily.
1539 **** New command [[doc::org-redisplay-inline-images][org-redisplay-inline-images]]
1541 This will redisplay all images. It is bound to =C-c C-x C-M-v=.
1543 **** New entities in =org-entities.el=
1545 There are these new entities:
1547 : ("tilde" "\\~{}" nil "˜" "~" "~" "~")
1548 : ("slash" "/" nil "/" "/" "/" "/")
1549 : ("plus" "+" nil "+" "+" "+" "+")
1550 : ("under" "\\_" nil "_" "_" "_" "_")
1551 : ("equal" "=" nil "=" "=" "=" "=")
1552 : ("asciicirc" "\\textasciicircum{}" nil "^" "^" "^" "^")
1554 **** New face =org-list-dt= for definition terms
1555 **** New face =org-date-selected= for the selected calendar day
1556 **** New face value for =org-document-title=
1558 The face is back to a normal height.
1562 **** New speed command =:= to activate the column view
1563 **** New special property =CLOCKSUM_T= to display today's clocked time
1565 You can use =CLOCKSUM_T= the same way you use =CLOCKSUM=. It
1566 will display the time spent on tasks for today only.
1568 **** Use the =:COLUMNS:= property in columnview dynamic blocks
1570 If the =:COLUMNS:= is set in a subtree, the columnview dynamic
1571 block will use its value as the column format.
1573 **** Consider inline tasks when computing a sum
1575 *** Org Dates and Time Stamps
1577 **** Enhanced [[doc::org-sparse-tree][org-sparse-tree]]
1579 =C-c /= can now check for time ranges.
1581 When checking for dates with =C-c /= it is useful to change the
1582 type of dates that you are interested in. You can now do this
1583 interactively with =c= after =C-c /= and/or by setting
1584 [[doc::org-sparse-tree-default-date-type][org-sparse-tree-default-date-type]] to the default value you want.
1586 **** Support for hourly repeat cookies
1590 : SCHEDULED: <2012-08-20 lun. 08:00 +1h>
1592 if you want to add an hourly repeater to an entry.
1594 **** =C-u C-u C-c .= inserts a time-stamp with no prompt
1596 **** When (setq [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] 'time), accept days in the prompt
1598 "8am Wed" and "Wed 8am" are now acceptable values when entering a
1599 date from the prompt. If [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] is set to
1600 =time=, this will produce the expected prompt indication.
1602 **** New option [[doc::org-datetree-add-timestamp][org-datetree-add-timestamp]]
1604 When set to =non-nil=, datetree entries will also have a
1605 timestamp. This is useful if you want to see these entries in a
1606 sparse tree with =C-c /=.
1610 **** New command [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]]
1612 M-x [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]] RET will prompt for a string and a capture
1613 template. The string will be used as an annotation for the
1614 template. This is useful when capturing in batch mode as it lets
1615 you define the content of the template without being in Emacs.
1617 **** New option [[doc::org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]]
1619 Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
1620 capture templates should be available from. For example, when
1623 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
1624 (setq org-capture-templates-contexts
1625 '(("c" (in-mode . "message-mode"))))
1628 then the =c= capture template will only be available from
1629 =message-mode= buffers. See the docstring and the manual for
1630 more details on how to use this.
1632 **** New =%l= template to insert the literal link
1633 **** New option [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]]
1635 Org used to automatically add a bookmark with capture a note.
1636 You can now turn this on by setting [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]] to
1639 **** Expand =%<num>= escape sequences into text entered for <num>'th =%^{PROMPT}= escape
1641 See the manual for more explanations.
1643 **** More control over empty lines
1645 You can use =:empty-lines-before= and =:empty-lines-after= to
1646 control the insertion of empty lines. Check the manual for more
1649 **** New hook [[doc::org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook][org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook]]
1651 This new hook runs before the finalization process starts.
1655 **** New functions =orgtbl-to-table.el= and =orgtbl-to-unicode=
1657 =orgtbl-to-table.el= convert the table to a =table.el= table, and
1658 =orgtbl-to-unicode= will use =ascii-art-to-unicode.el= (when
1659 available) to print beautiful tables.
1661 **** [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]] now a bit clever about the target format
1663 When you specify a file name like =table.csv=, [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]]
1664 will now suggest =orgtbl-to-csv= the default method for exporting
1667 **** New option [[doc::org-export-date-timestamp-format][org-export-date-timestamp-format]]
1669 The option allows to set a time string format for Org timestamps
1670 in the #+DATE option.
1672 **** LaTeX: New options for exporting table rules :tstart, :hline and :tend
1674 See [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-hline][org-export-latex-tables-hline]] and [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-tend][org-export-latex-tables-tend]].
1676 **** LaTeX: You can now set =:hfmt= from =#+ATTR_LaTeX=
1677 **** Beamer: Add support and keybinding for the =exampleblock= environment
1679 Add support for these languages in [[doc::org-export-language-setup][org-export-language-setup]].
1680 More languages are always welcome.
1682 **** Beamer: New option [[doc::org-beamer-inherited-properties][org-beamer-inherited-properties]]
1684 This option allows Beamer export to inherit some properties.
1685 Thanks to Carsten for implementing this.
1687 **** ODT: Add support for ODT export in org-bbdb.el
1688 **** ODT: Add support for indented tables (see [[http://orgmode.org/w/?p%3Dorg-mode.git%3Ba%3Dcommit%3Bh%3De9fd33][this commit]] for details)
1689 **** ODT: Improve the conversion from ODT to other formats
1690 **** ASCII: Swap the level-1/level-2 characters to underline the headlines
1691 **** Support for Chinese, simplified Chinese, Russian, Ukrainian and Japanese
1692 **** HTML: New option [[doc::org-export-html-date-format-string][org-export-html-date-format-string]]
1694 Format string to format the date and time in HTML export. Thanks
1695 to Sรฉbastien Vauban for this patch.
1699 **** New =:results drawer= parameter
1701 =:results drawer= replaces =:results wrap=, which is deprecated but still
1704 **** =:results org= now put results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block
1706 =:results org= used to put results in a =#+BEGIN_ORG= block but it now puts
1707 results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block, with comma-escaped lines.
1709 =#+BEGIN_ORG= blocks are obsolete.
1711 **** Exporting =#+BEGIN_SRC org= blocks exports the code
1713 It used to exports the results of the code.
1717 **** New menu entry for [[doc::org-refile][org-refile]]
1718 **** Allow capturing to encrypted entries
1720 If you capture to an encrypted entry, it will be decrypted before
1721 inserting the template then re-encrypted after finalizing the capture.
1723 **** Inactive timestamps are now handled in tables
1725 Calc can do computation on active time-stamps like <2012-09-29 sat.>.
1726 Inactive time-stamps in a table's cell are now internally deactivated so
1727 that Calc formulas can operate on them.
1729 **** [[doc::org-table-number-regexp][org-table-number-regexp]] can now accept comma as decimal mark
1730 **** Org allows a new property =APPT_WARNTIME=
1732 You can set it with the =W= speedy key or set it manually. When
1733 set, exporting to iCalendar and [[doc::org-agenda-to-appt][org-agenda-to-appt]] will use the
1734 value of this property as the number of minutes for the warning
1737 **** New command [[doc::org-inc-effort][org-inc-effort]]
1739 This will increment the effort value.
1741 It is bound to =C-c C-x E= and to =E= as a speedy command.
1743 **** Attach: Add support for creating symbolic links
1745 =org-attach-method= now supports a new method =lns=, allowing to
1746 attach symbolic links.
1748 **** Archive: you can now archive to a datetree
1750 **** New option [[doc::org-inlinetask-show-first-star][org-inlinetask-show-first-star]]
1752 =Non-nil= means display the first star of an inline task as
1753 additional marker. When =nil=, the first star is not shown.
1755 **** New option [[doc::org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory][org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory]]
1757 This lets you define the path for the =ltxpng/= directory.
1759 **** You can now use imagemagick instead of dvipng to preview LaTeX fragments
1760 **** You can now turn off [[doc::orgstruct++-mode][orgstruct++-mode]] safely
1761 **** =C-u C-c C-c= on list items to add check boxes
1763 =C-u C-c C-c= will add an empty check box on a list item.
1765 When hit from the top of the list, it will add check boxes for
1766 all top level list items.
1768 **** =org-list-ending-method= and =org-list-end-regexp= are now obsolete
1770 Fall back on using =org-list-end-re= only, which see.
1772 **** org-feed.el now expands =%(sexp)= templates
1773 **** New option [[doc::org-protocol-data-separator][org-protocol-data-separator]]
1775 **** New option [[doc::org-ditaa-jar-option][org-ditaa-jar-option]] to specify the ditaa jar file
1777 **** New possible value for [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]]
1779 When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is set to
1780 =start-level=, the command will loop over the active region but
1781 will only act upon entries that are of the same level than the
1782 first headline in the region.
1784 **** New option [[doc::org-habit-show-all-today][org-habit-show-all-today]]
1786 When set to =t=, show all (even unscheduled) habits on today's
1789 ** Important bug fixes
1791 *** M-TAB on options keywords perform completion correctly again
1793 If you hit =M-TAB= on keywords like =#+TITLE=, Org will try to
1794 perform completion with meaningful values.
1796 *** Add licenses to javascript embedded and external code snippets
1798 Embedded javascript code produced when exporting an Org file to
1799 HTML is now licensed under GPLv3 (or later), and the copyright is
1800 owned by the Free Software Foundation, Inc.
1802 The javascript code for embedding MathJax in the browser mentions
1803 the MathJax copyright and the Apache 2.0 license.
1805 The javascript code for embedding =org-injo.js= in the browser
1806 mentions the copyright of Sebastian Rose and the GPLv3 (or later)
1809 =org-export-html-scripts= is now a variable, so that you can adapt
1810 the code and the license to your needs.
1812 See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html for
1813 explanations on why these changes were necessary.
1817 ** Incompatible changes
1819 *** Emacs 21 support has been dropped
1821 Do not use Org mode 7.xx with Emacs 21, use [[http://orgmode.org/org-6.36c.zip][version 6.36c]] instead.
1823 *** XEmacs support requires the XEmacs development version
1825 To use Org mode 7.xx with XEmacs, you need to run the developer
1826 version of XEmacs. We were about to drop XEmacs support entirely,
1827 but Michael Sperber stepped in and made changes to XEmacs that
1828 made it easier to keep the support. Thanks to Michael for this
1831 *** New keys for TODO sparse trees
1833 The key =C-c C-v= is now reserved for Org Babel action. TODO
1834 sparse trees can still be made with =C-c / t= (all not-done
1835 states) and =C-c / T= (specific states).
1837 *** The Agenda =org-agenda-ndays= is now obsolete
1839 The variable =org-agenda-ndays= is obsolete - please use
1840 =org-agenda-span= instead.
1842 Thanks to Julien Danjou for this.
1844 *** Changes to the intended use of =org-export-latex-classes=
1846 So far this variable has been used to specify the complete header
1847 of the LaTeX document, including all the =\usepackage= calls
1848 necessary for the document. This setup makes it difficult to
1849 maintain the list of packages that Org itself would like to call,
1850 for example for the special symbol support it needs.
1852 First of all, you can *opt out of this change* in the following
1853 way: You can say: /I want to have full control over headers, and I
1854 will take responsibility to include the packages Org needs/. If
1855 that is what you want, add this to your configuration and skip the
1856 rest of this section (except maybe for the description of the
1857 =[EXTRA]= place holder):
1859 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
1860 (setq org-export-latex-default-packages-alist nil
1861 org-export-latex-packages-alist nil)
1864 /Continue to read here if you want to go along with the modified
1867 There are now two variables that should be used to list the LaTeX
1868 packages that need to be included in all classes. The header
1869 definition in =org-export-latex-classes= should then not contain
1870 the corresponding =\usepackage= calls (see below).
1872 The two new variables are:
1874 1. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist= :: This is the
1875 variable where Org-mode itself puts the packages it needs.
1876 Normally you should not change this variable. The only
1877 reason to change it anyway is when one of these packages
1878 causes a conflict with another package you want to use. Then
1879 you can remove that packages and hope that you are not using
1880 Org-mode functionality that needs it.
1882 2. =org-export-latex-packages-alist= :: This is the variable where
1883 you can put the packages that you'd like to use across all
1886 The sequence how these customizations will show up in the LaTeX
1889 1. Header from =org-export-latex-classes=
1890 2. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=
1891 3. =org-export-latex-packages-alist=
1892 4. Buffer-specific things set with =#+LaTeX_HEADER:=
1894 If you want more control about which segment is placed where, or
1895 if you want, for a specific class, have full control over the
1896 header and exclude some of the automatic building blocks, you can
1897 put the following macro-like place holders into the header:
1900 [DEFAULT-PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for default packages
1901 [NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES] do not include any of the default packages
1902 [PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for packages
1903 [NO-PACKAGES] do not include the packages
1904 [EXTRA] the stuff from #+LaTeX_HEADER
1905 [NO-EXTRA] do not include #+LaTeX_HEADER stuff
1908 If you have currently customized =org-export-latex-classes=, you
1909 should revise that customization and remove any package calls that
1910 are covered by =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. This
1911 applies to the following packages:
1929 If one of these packages creates a conflict with another package
1930 you are using, you can remove it from
1931 =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. But then you risk that
1932 some of the advertised export features of Org will not work
1935 You can also consider moving packages that you use in all classes
1936 to =org-export-latex-packages-alist=. If necessary, put the place
1937 holders so that the packages get loaded in the right sequence. As
1938 said above, for backward compatibility, if you omit the place
1939 holders, all the variables will dump their content at the end of
1942 *** The constant =org-html-entities= is obsolete
1944 Its content is now part of the new constant =org-entities=, which
1945 is defined in the file org-entities.el. =org-html-entities= was
1946 an internal variable, but it is possible that some users did write
1949 *** =org-bbdb-anniversary-format-alist= has changed
1951 Please check the docstring and update your settings accordingly.
1953 *** Deleted =org-mode-p=
1955 This function has been deleted: please update your code.
1957 ** Important new features
1959 *** New Org to ODT exporter
1961 Jambunathan's Org to ODT exporter is now part of Org.
1963 To use it, it `C-c C-e o' in an Org file. See the documentation
1964 for more information on how to customize it.
1966 *** org-capture.el is now the default capture system
1968 This replaces the earlier system org-remember. The manual only
1969 describes org-capture, but for people who prefer to continue to
1970 use org-remember, we keep a static copy of the former manual
1971 section [[http://orgmode.org/org-remember.pdf][chapter about remember]].
1973 The new system has a technically cleaner implementation and more
1974 possibilities for capturing different types of data. See
1975 [[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/26441/focus%3D26441][Carsten's announcement]] for more details.
1977 To switch over to the new system:
1981 : M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET
1983 to get a translated version of your remember templates into the
1984 new variable =org-capture-templates=. This will "mostly" work,
1985 but maybe not for all cases. At least it will give you a good
1986 place to modify your templates. After running this command,
1987 enter the customize buffer for this variable with
1989 : M-x customize-variable RET org-capture-templates RET
1991 and convince yourself that everything is OK. Then save the
1994 2. Bind the command =org-capture= to a key, similar to what you did
1997 : (define-key global-map "\C-cc" 'org-capture)
1999 If your fingers prefer =C-c r=, you can also use this key once
2000 you have decided to move over completely to the new
2001 implementation. During a test time, there is nothing wrong
2002 with using both system in parallel.
2006 *** New Org libraries
2007 **** org-eshell.el (Konrad Hinsen)
2009 Implement links to eshell buffers.
2011 **** org-special-blocks (Carsten Dominik)
2013 This package generalizes the #+begin_foo and #+end_foo tokens.
2015 To use, put the following in your init file:
2018 (require 'org-special-blocks)
2021 The tokens #+begin_center, #+begin_verse, etc. existed
2022 previously. This package generalizes them (at least for the
2023 LaTeX and html exporters). When a #+begin_foo token is
2024 encountered by the LaTeX exporter, it is expanded
2025 into \begin{foo}. The text inside the environment is not
2026 protected, as text inside environments generally is.
2027 When #+begin_foo is encountered by the html exporter, a div with
2028 class foo is inserted into the HTML file. It is up to the user
2029 to add this class to his or her stylesheet if this div is to mean
2032 **** org-taskjuggler.el (Christian Egli)
2034 Christian Egli's /org-taskjuggler.el/ module is now part of Org.
2035 He also wrote a [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler.php][tutorial]] for it.
2037 **** org-ctags.el (Paul Sexton)
2039 Targets like =<<my target>>= can now be found by Emacs' etag
2040 functionality, and Org-mode links can be used to to link to
2041 etags, also in non-Org-mode files. For details, see the file
2044 This feature uses a new hook =org-open-link-functions= which will
2045 call function to do something special with text links.
2047 Thanks to Paul Sexton for this contribution.
2049 **** org-docview.el (Jan Bรถcker)
2051 This new module allows links to various file types using docview, where
2052 Emacs displays images of document pages. Docview link types can point
2053 to a specific page in a document, for example to page 131 of the
2056 : [[docview:~/.elisp/org/doc/org.pdf::131][Org-Mode Manual]]
2058 Thanks to Jan Bรถcker for this contribution.
2060 *** New Babel libraries
2062 - ob-picolisp.el (Thorsten Jolitz)
2063 - ob-fortran.el (Sergey Litvinov)
2064 - ob-shen.el (Eric Schulte)
2065 - ob-maxima.el (Eric S Fraga)
2066 - ob-java.el (Eric Schulte)
2067 - ob-lilypond.el (Martyn Jago)
2068 - ob-awk.el (Eric Schulte)
2070 ** Other new features and various enhancements
2074 **** Org-Bibtex -- major improvements
2076 Provides support for managing bibtex bibliographical references
2077 data in headline properties. Each headline corresponds to a
2078 single reference and the relevant bibliographic meta-data is
2079 stored in headline properties, leaving the body of the headline
2080 free to hold notes and comments. Org-bibtex is aware of all
2081 standard bibtex reference types and fields.
2083 The key new functions are
2085 - org-bibtex-check :: queries the user to flesh out all required
2086 (and with prefix argument optional) bibtex fields available
2087 for the specific reference =type= of the current headline.
2089 - org-bibtex-create :: Create a new entry at the given level,
2090 using org-bibtex-check to flesh out the relevant fields.
2092 - org-bibtex-yank :: Yank a bibtex entry on the kill ring as a
2093 formatted Org-mode headline into the current buffer
2095 - org-bibtex-export-to-kill-ring :: Export the current headline
2096 to the kill ring as a formatted bibtex entry.
2098 **** org-gnus.el now allows link creation from messages
2100 You can now create links from messages. This is particularly
2101 useful when the user wants to stored messages that he sends, for
2102 later check. Thanks to Ulf Stegemann for the patch.
2104 **** Modified link escaping
2106 David Maus worked on `org-link-escape'. See [[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/37888][his message]]:
2108 : Percent escaping is used in Org mode to escape certain characters
2109 : in links that would either break the parser (e.g. square brackets
2110 : in link target oder description) or are not allowed to appear in
2111 : a particular link type (e.g. non-ascii characters in a http:
2114 : With this change in place Org will apply percent escaping and
2115 : unescaping more consistently especially for non-ascii characters.
2116 : Additionally some of the outstanding bugs or glitches concerning
2117 : percent escaped links are solved.
2119 Thanks a lot to David for this work.
2121 **** Make =org-store-link= point to directory in a dired buffer
2123 When, in a dired buffer, the cursor is not in a line listing a
2124 file, `org-store-link' will store a link to the directory.
2126 Patch by Stephen Eglen.
2128 **** Allow regexps in =org-file-apps= to capture link parameters
2130 The way extension regexps in =org-file-apps= are handled has
2131 changed. Instead of matching against the file name, the regexps
2132 are now matched against the whole link, and you can use grouping
2133 to extract link parameters which you can then use in a command
2134 string to be executed.
2136 For example, to allow linking to PDF files using the syntax
2137 =file:/doc.pdf::<page number>=, you can add the following entry
2141 Extension: \.pdf::\([0-9]+\)\'
2142 Command: evince "%s" -p %1
2145 Thanks to Jan Bรถcker for a patch to this effect.
2149 **** Allow relative time when scheduling/adding a deadline
2151 You can now use relative duration strings like "-2d" or "++3w"
2152 when calling =org-schedule= or =org-deadline=: it will schedule
2153 (or set the deadline for) the item respectively two days before
2154 today and three weeks after the current timestamp, if any.
2156 You can use this programmatically: =(org-schedule nil "+2d")=
2157 will work on the current entry.
2159 You can also use this while (bulk-)rescheduling and
2160 (bulk-)resetting the deadline of (several) items from the agenda.
2162 Thanks to Memnon Anon for a heads up about this!
2164 **** American-style dates are now understood by =org-read-date=
2166 So when you are prompted for a date, you can now answer like this
2169 2/5/3 --> 2003-02-05
2170 2/5 --> <CURRENT-YEAR>-02-05
2175 **** =org-agenda-custom-commands= has a default value
2177 This option used to be `nil' by default. This now has a default
2178 value, displaying an agenda and all TODOs. See the docstring for
2179 details. Thanks to Carsten for this.
2181 **** Improved filtering through =org-agenda-to-appt=
2183 The new function allows the user to refine the scope of entries
2184 to pass to =org-agenda-get-day-entries= and allows to filter out
2185 entries using a function.
2187 Thanks to Peter Mรผnster for raising a related issue and to
2188 Tassilo Horn for this idea. Also thanks to Peter Mรผnster for
2189 [[git:68ffb7a7][fixing a small bug]] in the final implementation.
2191 **** Allow ap/pm times in agenda time grid
2193 Times in the agenda can now be displayed in am/pm format. See
2194 the new variable =org-agenda-timegrid-use-ampm=. Thanks to
2195 C. A. Webber for a patch to this effect.
2197 **** Agenda: Added a bulk "scattering" command
2199 =B S= in the agenda buffer will cause tasks to be rescheduled a
2200 random number of days into the future, with 7 as the default.
2201 This is useful if you've got a ton of tasks scheduled for today,
2202 you realize you'll never deal with them all, and you just want
2203 them to be distributed across the next N days. When called with
2204 a prefix arg, rescheduling will avoid weekend days.
2206 Thanks to John Wiegley for this.
2210 **** Simplification of org-export-html-preamble/postamble
2212 When set to `t', export the preamble/postamble as usual, honoring
2213 the =org-export-email/author/creator-info= variables.
2215 When set to a formatting string, insert this string. See the
2216 docstring of these variable for details about available
2219 You can set =:html-preamble= in publishing project in the same
2220 way: `t' means to honor =:email/creator/author-info=, and a
2221 formatting string will insert a string.
2223 **** New exporters to Latin-1 and UTF-8
2225 While Ulf Stegemann was going through the entities list to
2226 improve the LaTeX export, he had the great idea to provide
2227 representations for many of the entities in Latin-1, and for all
2228 of them in UTF-8. This means that we can now export files rich
2229 in special symbols to Latin-1 and to UTF-8 files. These new
2230 exporters can be reached with the commands =C-c C-e n= and =C-c
2231 C-e u=, respectively.
2233 When there is no representation for a given symbol in the
2234 targeted coding system, you can choose to keep the TeX-macro-like
2235 representation, or to get an "explanatory" representation. For
2236 example, =\simeq= could be represented as "[approx. equal to]".
2237 Please use the variable =org-entities-ascii-explanatory= to state
2240 **** HTML export: Add class to outline containers using property
2242 The =HTML_CONTAINER_CLASS= property can now be used to add a
2243 class name to the outline container of a node in HTML export.
2245 **** Throw an error when creating an image from a LaTeX snippet fails
2247 This behavior can be configured with the new option variable
2248 =org-format-latex-signal-error=.
2250 **** Support for creating BEAMER presentations from Org-mode documents
2252 Org-mode documents or subtrees can now be converted directly in
2253 to BEAMER presentation. Turning a tree into a simple
2254 presentations is straight forward, and there is also quite some
2255 support to make richer presentations as well. See the [[http://orgmode.org/manual/Beamer-class-export.html#Beamer-class-export][BEAMER
2256 section]] in the manual for more details.
2258 Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the discussion about
2259 BEAMER support and how it should work. This was a great example
2260 for how this community can achieve a much better result than any
2265 **** Refile targets can now be cached
2267 You can turn on caching of refile targets by setting the variable
2268 =org-refile-use-cache=. This should speed up refiling if you
2269 have many eligible targets in many files. If you need to update
2270 the cache because Org misses a newly created entry or still
2271 offers a deleted one, press =C-0 C-c C-w=.
2273 **** New logging support for refiling
2275 Whenever you refile an item, a time stamp and even a note can be
2276 added to this entry. For details, see the new option
2279 Thanks to Charles Cave for this idea.
2283 **** In-buffer completion is now done using John Wiegley's pcomplete.el
2285 Thanks to John Wiegley for much of this code.
2289 **** New command =org-table-transpose-table-at-point=
2291 See the docstring. This hack from Juan Pechiar is now part of
2292 Org's core. Thanks to Juan!
2294 **** Display field's coordinates when editing it with =C-c `=
2296 When editing a field with =C-c `=, the field's coordinate will
2297 the displayed in the buffer.
2299 Thanks to Michael Brand for a patch to this effect.
2301 **** Spreadsheet computation of durations and time values
2303 If you want to compute time values use the =T= flag, either in
2304 Calc formulas or Elisp formulas:
2306 | Task 1 | Task 2 | Total |
2307 |--------+--------+---------|
2308 | 35:00 | 35:00 | 1:10:00 |
2309 #+TBLFM: @2$3=$1+$2;T
2311 Values must be of the form =[HH:]MM:SS=, where hours are
2314 Thanks to Martin Halder, Eric Schulte and Carsten for code and
2317 **** Implement formulas applying to field ranges
2319 Carsten implemented this field-ranges formulas.
2321 : A frequently requested feature for tables has been to be able to define
2322 : row formulas in a way similar to column formulas. The patch below allows
2329 : as the left hand side for table formulas in order to write a formula that
2330 : is valid for an entire column or for a rectangular section in a
2333 Thanks a lot to Carsten for this.
2335 **** Sending radio tables from org buffers is now allowed
2337 Org radio tables can no also be sent inside Org buffers. Also,
2338 there is a new hook which get called after a table has been sent.
2340 Thanks to Seweryn Kokot.
2344 **** Improved handling of lists
2346 Nicolas Goaziou extended and improved the way Org handles lists.
2348 1. Indentation of text determines again end of items in
2349 lists. So, some text less indented than the previous item
2350 doesn't close the whole list anymore, only all items more
2353 2. Alphabetical bullets are implemented, through the use of the
2354 variable `org-alphabetical-lists'. This also adds alphabetical
2355 counters like [@c] or [@W].
2357 3. Lists can now safely contain drawers, inline tasks, or various
2358 blocks, themselves containing lists. Two variables are
2359 controlling this: `org-list-forbidden-blocks', and
2360 `org-list-export-context'.
2362 4. Improve `newline-and-indent' (C-j): used in an item, it will
2363 keep text from moving at column 0. This allows to split text
2364 and make paragraphs and still not break the list.
2366 5. Improve `org-toggle-item' (C-c -): used on a region with
2367 standard text, it will change the region into one item. With a
2368 prefix argument, it will fallback to the previous behavior and
2369 make every line in region an item. It permits to easily
2370 integrate paragraphs inside a list.
2372 6. `fill-paragraph' (M-q) now understands lists. It can freely be
2373 used inside items, or on text just after a list, even with no
2374 blank line around, without breaking list structure.
2376 Thanks a lot to Nicolas for all this!
2378 *** Inline display of linked images
2380 Images can now be displayed inline. The key C-c C-x C-v does
2381 toggle the display of such images. Note that only image links
2382 that have no description part will be inlined.
2384 *** Implement offsets for ordered lists
2386 If you want to start an ordered plain list with a number different
2387 from 1, you can now do it like this:
2389 : 1. [@start:12] will star a lit a number 12
2391 *** Babel: code block body expansion for table and preview
2393 In org-babel, code is "expanded" prior to evaluation. I.e. the
2394 code that is actually evaluated comprises the code block contents,
2395 augmented with the extra code which assigns the referenced data to
2396 variables. It is now possible to preview expanded contents, and
2397 also to expand code during during tangling. This expansion takes
2398 into account all header arguments, and variables.
2400 A new keybinding `C-c M-b p' bound to `org-babel-expand-src-block'
2401 can be used from inside of a source code block to preview its
2402 expanded contents (which can be very useful for debugging).
2405 The expanded body can now be tangled, this includes variable
2406 values which may be the results of other source-code blocks, or
2407 stored in headline properties or tables. One possible use for this
2408 is to allow those using org-babel for their emacs initialization
2409 to store values (e.g. usernames, passwords, etc...) in headline
2410 properties or in tables.
2412 Org-babel now supports three new header arguments, and new default
2413 behavior for handling horizontal lines in tables (hlines), column
2414 names, and rownames across all languages.
2416 *** Editing Convenience and Appearance
2418 **** New command =org-copy-visible= (=C-c C-x v=)
2420 This command will copy the visible text in the region into the
2421 kill ring. Thanks to Florian Beck for this function and to
2422 Carsten for adding it to org.el and documenting it!
2424 **** Make it possible to protect hidden subtrees from being killed by =C-k=
2426 See the new variable =org-ctrl-k-protect-subtree=. This was a
2427 request by Scott Otterson.
2429 **** Implement pretty display of entities, sub-, and superscripts.
2431 The command =C-c C-x \= toggles the display of Org's special
2432 entities like =\alpha= as pretty unicode characters. Also, sub
2433 and superscripts are displayed in a pretty way (raised/lower
2434 display, in a smaller font). If you want to exclude sub- and
2435 superscripts, see the variable
2436 =org-pretty-entities-include-sub-superscripts=.
2438 Thanks to Eric Schulte and Ulf Stegeman for making this possible.
2440 **** New faces for title, date, author and email address lines
2442 The keywords in these lines are now dimmed out, and the title is
2443 displayed in a larger font, and a special font is also used for
2444 author, date, and email information. This is implemented by the
2445 following new faces:
2447 =org-document-title=
2449 =org-document-info-keyword=
2451 In addition, the variable =org-hidden-keywords= can be used to
2452 make the corresponding keywords disappear.
2454 Thanks to Dan Davison for this feature.
2456 **** Simpler way to specify faces for tags and todo keywords
2458 The variables =org-todo-keyword-faces=, =org-tag-faces=, and
2459 =org-priority-faces= now accept simple color names as
2460 specifications. The colors will be used as either foreground or
2461 background color for the corresponding keyword. See also the
2462 variable =org-faces-easy-properties=, which governs which face
2463 property is affected by this setting.
2465 This is really a great simplification for setting keyword faces.
2466 The change is based on an idea and patch by Ryan Thompson.
2468 **** <N> in tables now means fixed width, not maximum width
2470 Requested by Michael Brand.
2472 **** Better level cycling function
2474 =TAB= in an empty headline cycles the level of that headline
2475 through likely states. Ryan Thompson implemented an improved
2476 version of this function, which does not depend upon when exactly
2477 this command is used. Thanks to Ryan for this improvement.
2479 **** Adaptive filling
2481 For paragraph text, =org-adaptive-fill-function= did not handle
2482 the base case of regular text which needed to be filled. This is
2483 now fixed. Among other things, it allows email-style ">"
2484 comments to be filled correctly.
2486 Thanks to Dan Hackney for this patch.
2488 **** `org-reveal' (=C-c C-r=) also decrypts encrypted entries (org-crypt.el)
2490 Thanks to Richard Riley for triggering this change.
2492 **** Better automatic letter selection for TODO keywords
2494 When all first letters of keywords have been used, Org now
2495 assigns more meaningful characters based on the keywords.
2497 Thanks to Mikael Fornius for this patch.
2501 **** Clock: Allow synchronous update of timestamps in CLOCK log
2503 Using =S-M-<up/down>= on CLOCK log timestamps will
2504 increase/decrease the two timestamps on this line so that
2505 duration will keep the same. Note that duration can still be
2506 slightly modified in case a timestamp needs some rounding.
2508 Thanks to Rainer Stengele for this idea.
2510 **** Localized clock tables
2512 Clock tables now support a new new =:lang= parameter, allowing
2513 the user to customize the localization of the table headers. See
2514 the variable =org-clock-clocktable-language-setup= which controls
2515 available translated strings.
2517 **** Show clock overruns in mode line
2519 When clocking an item with a planned effort, overrunning the
2520 planned time is now made visible in the mode line, for example
2521 using the new face =org-mode-line-clock-overrun=, or by adding an
2522 extra string given by =org-task-overrun-text=.
2524 Thanks to Richard Riley for a patch to this effect.
2526 **** Clock reports can now include the running, incomplete clock
2528 If you have a clock running, and the entry being clocked falls
2529 into the scope when creating a clock table, the time so far spent
2530 can be added to the total. This behavior depends on the setting
2531 of =org-clock-report-include-clocking-task=. The default is
2534 Thanks to Bernt Hansen for this useful addition.
2538 **** Improvements with inline tasks and indentation
2540 There is now a configurable way on how to export inline tasks.
2541 See the new variable =org-inlinetask-export-templates=.
2543 Thanks to Nicolas Goaziou for coding these changes.
2545 **** A property value of "nil" now means to unset a property
2547 This can be useful in particular with property inheritance, if
2548 some upper level has the property, and some grandchild of it
2549 would like to have the default settings (i.e. not overruled by a
2552 Thanks to Robert Goldman and Bernt Hansen for suggesting this
2555 **** New helper functions in org-table.el
2557 There are new functions to access and write to a specific table field.
2558 This is for hackers, and maybe for the org-babel people.
2563 org-table-current-line
2567 **** Archiving: Allow to reverse order in target node
2569 The new option =org-archive-reversed-order= allows to have
2570 archived entries inserted in a last-on-top fashion in the target
2573 This was requested by Tom.
2575 **** Org-reveal: Double prefix arg shows the entire subtree of the parent
2577 This can help to get out of an inconsistent state produced for
2578 example by viewing from the agenda.
2580 This was a request by Matt Lundin.
